`.pptx` is the _Open_ Office Presentation Format. It's standardized by Ecma. It's not what I would call a proprietary file format.

If I recall correctly, GPS receivers for non-military use are specifically designed not to operate over 60,000 feet altitude or 1,000 knots velocity. So it's not un-precedented.

We don't highlight each line of code separately, which would be the analogue to highlighting natural language at the sentence level. We highlight tokens based on their syntactic type. Strings are all colored the same. Operators are col

There seems to be some dissatisfaction with Electron in this thread. I've heard some good things about building desktop apps on top of Electron but have not had the need to try it yet. I'm curious what people's gripes are. I

Bacteria are indeed grouped into species. The coli of Escherichia coli is an identifier for the species. However, species in general is a pretty nebulous term. One definition of species is the maximal set of individuals that are pairwis

Ah, now I know! Serves me right for not reading the original paper before criticizing their experimental method. Thanks for the technical term. I see that the sham stimulation can still incorporate some ramp-up and ramp-down current, but I&

I'd have liked to have seen two control groups. One group which received the "mock brain stimulation" and another which received no brain stimulation. It may be the case that playing noise into someone's brain has a detr

Interesting to note that the Stripe gem removed one of its dependencies seemingly in reaction to being called out at the end of this article.

Is it just me, or does the screenshot from the blog post show code with inconsistent open-brace placement near the td selector? I quickly looked at the format section but but didn't see that style anywhere.

I do think there's lots of room for growth in this space. Spatial/visual intuition is highly underused relative to linguistic intuition in software development. In visualization we often are limited by our own design to encoding i

I'd say it's no advantage in itself when it comes to software. In general I'd say most people view it as a negative signal because grad school delays entry into industry by a few years (reducing practical in-the-wild experien

I'm not sure that Inside Out was meant to be an accurate depiction of our emotions any more than Finding Nemo is meant as an accurate portrayal of marine ecosystems, or Ratatouille of French cuisine. While our emotions certainly are co

I found some mentions of "DrugSupervise" on a bunch of Chinese language sites, which lead me to find drugadmin.com. A google translate of the title tag tells me it's a "Home _ Chinese Drug electronic monitoring network.

For what it's worth, w.r.t. your first point you can get part of the way there by creating a .npmrc in your project with "save-exact=true". Even if it doesn't protect you from higher order dependencies that violate semve

Price is the amount the consumer pays, while cost is the price the business pays. It may cost me $5 to produce a product, which I could then sell at a price of $7, for a profit of $2.

Yeah, I think the new title misses the point of the article, and is frankly click-bait.

I really enjoy non-classical logic, and all kinds of interesting systems arise when you remove one of the structural rules of classical or intuitionalistic logic. I'm at best an armchair logician, and I'd love for anyone to point

I was talking about changing the age-range to ~45-65 on the linked chart. Do you think that relative lifespan differences are still relevant at that age range? I'd guess it'd have more to do with partner selection bias than male p

Awesome! I tried coming up with justifications for all of the rules, and decided that having animals popping into existence didn't make sense, but if you consider the whole thing an open system with an influx of predators, then yours s

Interesting that the trend reverses if you select for an older age range. Perhaps the disparity is somewhat related to the continued success of cougar night at the Rosewood?

I was also wondering why the domain was familiar. Nicky Case creates some awesome interactive stories and demos of concepts like anxiety & Hebbian learning[0], Self-categorization theory[1], and the effects of very mild systemic bias on

This is really cool! I made a fairly simple system with plants, herbivores, and carnivores... Plants can reproduce to any open square on the board. Herbivores and carnivores reproduce when they eat, and can die from overcrowding or randomly

Public trust is essential for law enforcement to function efficiently. Trust in the legitimacy of government and other members of society is inversely correlated with crime and corruption. This is not to say that trust causes lower crime ra

I agree it's an odd wording. Giving the author the benefit of the doubt, however, I might interpret it to mean that it's essential for continued public trust in law enforcement that rights violations are dealt due process, partic

Definitely not trying to claim that straw man. I'm not religious so there's a disproof of your statement. GP said that being in STEM virtually excludes one from being religious. I just wanted to give three prominent counter-exampl
